Well it's here, £375 for a remap, K&N filter and a badge. Results are 100PS and 270nm of Torque. The snag is, it's only for 2008 - 2010 models, so people with anything mid 2010+ have no use of this. Another shame, is it's only 10PS more than standard, whereas Superchips/Diesel boxes offer around the 120PS mark...

Also, £299 for a sporty exhaust, that seems like a decent buy, but not sure on the above.

Im going to ask a rather stupid question (so im ready for stupid answers ) iv looked on google for this RS tuning place and it leads me to the link below. IV been through all of the options and it only goes up to a mk6 fiesta. so is the box in the link before the correct one for a mk7 tdci? and has anyone got any figures on the gains?

I had mine simply remapped and gained over 20HP...and 12 LB/fts torque...surely MOUNTUNE can do better than that?!?

They did for the 08-10 plates depending on how you look at it 10 bhp and 60lb/ft of torque the Torque improvement is very impressive. The 2011 dpf versions should gain about 30bhp and a 60lb/ft of extra torque maybe more with any luck because I really want it but only if it's reasonable gains

RIght iv seriously been looking into get my car remapped now but the same pros and cons keep popping up. Besides the greater torque, bhp ect.. iv seen a few people say that some of the engine components such as the gear box wont be able to handle the increase as there only set to manage what the car currently puts out <_< Has anyone actually had their diesel done and does it cause the car to blow up into a million little bits because its too much (slight exaggeration i know)

Um, pretty sure the box will take it, people saying that are prunes. If the gear box could only just take the power naturally produced then it wouldn't last very long. You can probably double the power before experiencing too many niggles on parts.

That sounds good to me :D just the small problem of finding £200 now <_<

:P, what a remap does is put extra strain on parts, but a good map will never blow your car sky high, and the gearbox can handle a lot more than it's got at factory so it's safe. Time to raid the piggy bank? :P

How much difference does the K&N filter make, as you can pick that up yourself for about £35.

Mainly, It makes the induction sound louder, which gives the illusion of more power, on turbo engines, can reduce lag a little before the turbo kicks in, and improve throttle response a little, or make no bifference at all to the power, or very slightly at high rpm, depending on the car/ engine. Typical gains are 0 to 2 Hp (new stock filter vs new K&N - often, a new K&N replaces an old, clogged stock filter, so an improvement due to this is noticed by the owner ) K&N fillters do not filter as well as stock paper filters and allow more dust particles through
